On this episode of theMangoTimes podcast, I am sharing an interview I did with Mike Smith from HSLDA's Homeschool Heartbeart. This is Day 4 of a five-part series and on today's show, I describe how I started the FourOneOne Bible Study for teenage boys.
I hope you enjoy this quick edition of theMangoTimes Podcast.
Quietly making noise,
Fletch
In Episode 31, Fletch continues a thread that’s been running through recent conversations with his dad (In the Smoke Shop with Pop) and his wife Kendra (Stop Dreaming and Start Doing). This time, he sits down with his 18-year-old son Christian—musician, YouTuber, and future University of the Pacific student—to talk about what it means to make your own kind of music in life.
In Episode 30, Pop settles back into his smokeshop chair and answers listener-submitted questions with his trademark blend of humor and honesty. He reflects on his long career, the life choices that shaped him, and even opens up about a few regrets.
Andy "Fletch" Fletcher has been married to Kendra for more than 30 years. He is a proud father to 5 sons, 3 daughters, but has added a few more kids by marriage and now a few grandchildren who call him Pops.
During the day he can be found fixing people's teeth, but the rest of the time you can find him smoking a pipe, enjoying a cup of coffee, riding a motorcycle or hanging out with his loyal black lab, Champ.
Enjoy everything you see on theMangoTimes from this Jesus-loving, wife-smooching, dog-walking, pipe-smoking, mountain-hiking positive guy as he quietly makes some noise.
In Episode 32, Fletch moves out of the smoke shop and onto the back porch with his dad to ask a few more questions in an episode subtitled: Words To Live By. It’s a theme that’s more than just old sayings or clichés; it’s about what’s really stuck with him over the years. From the advice he took (and didn’t take) to the moments that shaped him, this episode is full of that real-life wisdom you can only get from someone who’s been around the block a few times.
